"...I understand." As the Moonknights came for the down creature and knowing that he'd be taken care of, Joker looked back at her, wondering if she'd even be able to make it. A split decision raced into his mind.
"Forgive me." With her smaller size, it is easy for him to grab her between his arms and to jump away from the scene of the battle, away into rooftops and closer to where she lived. "It will be faster to get you home this way that if you walked by yourself."
This wasn't what she meant by going! And she was going to ignore that involuntary shudder at being carried like this too. Why did this three full moon's nonsense have to happen now? And why was this guy still looking familiar?
"I need to find a Sanguis. He's probably engaged with a Cerberus right now, and he needs to be stopped."
The reaction nearly causes him to slip from the next rooftop as he scratches to a half with his pointed shoes. Normally this would be the perfect time to say a witty comeback or two, but considering what they just had done, he takes it a lot more seriously than usual.
"Who is he? Tell me his name, I'll find him."
Hopefully he actually knows who it is.

Even if he had slipped, she probably wouldn't feel much of the impact from falling. Some blessings were beneficial, but others like the one making her almost double over were not.
"Kanji... or Tatsumi. Just be careful; he might be fully turned tonight."
Reaching into her pocket, did she have anything that he could take?
"I know Tatsumi," he replies with a small nod. "During the vine incident, we ran into each other. Hold on tight!"
Adjusting his grip on her so he could do it with one hand, he turns around and began to go back into the battlefields, dodging attacks from others fighting the different creatures. All the while, he has a hand over his right eye as if he's using it to see something.
"He must he around here somewhere..." Eventually the Arcana card appears close by, like a beacon of light he so desperately needed for the both of them. "I think I've found him."
Though she nods, she expects him to set her down so she can locate Kanji on her own or do by himself. However, he just grabs her again and takes off back into the fray. Long ears high and luminescent lights dancing, this isn't good...
He found him? Eyebrow rising, she decides not to immediately ask. "Slowly approach him..."
He remembers a little of what had happened with Kanji during the vines. Something about being able to smell others? He doesn't want to leave Naoto like this, but he has a feeling that very soon Kanji will be coming their way anyway wither they want him to or not. Approaching him carefully might just leave him clues of who he is, and that's not a secret Ren's ready to share just yet.
"I'll take you down and whistle for his attention. Perhaps it might be better for me to leave after that...if you think that's a good idea."
Despite his own setbacks, he wasn't going to leave her helpless either. He'd be a terrible person if he did.
Sure enough, she could see him. Right now, there's very little about Kanji still human, his hunched form doubled in average size and long, triangular ears jutting from his head. It's the eyes that held the most warning though, fiery and wild, looking for a fight if gnashed fangs and curled claws didn't already caution that.
Naoto stares, and sighs, nodding. "Like this, I suggest you run once I have his attention. I'll keep him here."
He doesn't ask how she can do that...that's not for him to really ponder. Despite the fact she's a detective, he trusts her words, before bringing a hand towards his mouth to let out a whistle that could be easily heard from Kanji's earshot.
"See you later."
With a nod at her, he'll jump away and off on a rooftop, waiting to make sure that Kanji was going towards her before leaving entirely.
Kanji definitely heard that whistle and he doesn't hesitate to bellow and charge in their direction.
"See you..."
That leaves her to the wolf - literally - but she's not worried about it. Those yellow eyes weren't focused on her; Kanji likely wouldn't have stopped chasing after the masked individual either if she didn't raise her hand to catch his attention.
